BVM-X300 4K OLED Master Monitor

4K OLED Master Monitor Indispensable for 4K Cinematography and Ultra-HD (UHD) Production Sony proudly introduces the BVM-X300 30-inch* 1 4K OLED master monitor the flagship model in its professional monitor lineup. This new monitor offers the inherent performance of TRIMASTER EL OLED monitors, including unparalleled black performance, color reproduction, quick pixel response, and industry-leading wide viewing angles. In addition, the BVM-X300 supports High Dynamic Range mode and a wide color gamut conforming to DCI-P3 and most of the ITU-R BT.2020 Recommendation.* 2 By unleashing these superb features and qualities, this master monitor makes an ideal tool for a wide range of applications such as color grading and QC (quality control) in the 4K production workflow. 4K 4096 x 2160 Pixel Resolution OLED Panel The BVM-X300 incorporates a 30-inch true 4K panel at 4096 x 2160 pixel resolution. The aspect ratio is 1.89:1 (17:9) so images are mapped with no scaling processes. High Dynamic Range Mode In addition to the intrinsic high-contrast performance of the TRIMASTER EL OLED panel, this monitor provides High Dynamic Range mode. This offers neverbefore-seen image reproduction the black is black, and peak brightness can be reproduced more realistically with colors that are typically saturated in a conventional standard dynamic range. This mode can brilliantly express sparkling town lights and stars in the night sky with no clipping.

Accurate Black Reproduction A key advantage of TRIMASTER EL is the fact that each pixel can be turned completely off. No other display technology is able to offer this. TRIMASTER EL is capable of reproducing accurate black with each individual pixel, enabling users to evaluate each picture image faithfully to the signal.

User-friendly Built-in Control Panel The BVM-X300 incorporates a built-in control panel in front, which offers user-friendly convenient functions: Seven user-assignable function buttons Manual controls for aperture, chroma, brightness, and contrast Separate 4K and 2K settings, enabling users straightforward operation Dimmable button lights and on/off switchable indicator lights The front panel design offers common operability with BVM-E and BVM-F Series master monitors*, and close operability with PVM-A and LMD-A Series monitors. This commonality between Sony s monitors in the same chain allows users simple operation and faster feature selection. Versatile 4K/QFHD Input Capability The BVM-X300 is equipped with standard 3G/HD-SDI input interfaces (x4) and supports 4K 2-sample interleave signals* and 4K square division signals. This monitor accepts up to 3840 x 2160/24, 25, 30, 50, 60p and 4096 x 2160/24, 25, 30, 50, 60p signals. * SMPTE ST 2036-3 standard.

This enables input to be presented as a true interlace display. As with the Native Scan function, Interlace Display mode offers faithful reproduction of the input signal, and the displayed interlace fields are free from the picture degradation that can occur as a result of typical I/P conversion processes. * Simulated image 4

Power-on Setting This function allows users to select setting data when the monitor starts up; this includes last memory, user preset, and factory preset settings. Users can set the monitor accurately and quickly. This function is very useful for rental equipment. User Presets When multiple users share the same monitor, each user can memorize his/ her settings and retrieve this data whenever required. This frees the user from time consuming and repetitive setting tasks. Up to five User Presets can be memorized. Sony S-Log Gamma Support The BVM-X300 supports conventional 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, and CRT gamma. In addition, HDR (High Dynamic Range) EOTF tables are provided for 2.4 (HDR), S-Log2 (HDR), and S-Log3 (HDR). The 2.4 (HDR) Gamma mode is for monitoring content using 2.4 gamma containing high dynamic imaging. S-Log gamma is a technique used in Sony s digital cinematography cameras that allows the full latitude of the camera imager to be maintained throughout the production chain. Unlike conventional systems, in which highlight contrast is compressed, S-Log gamma logarithmically converts the video signal using characteristics similar to film negatives. This keeps the camera imager s dynamic range intact, even in extreme highlight areas. The BVM-X300 allows reproduction as an inverse function of the camera s S-Log gamma signals. Two display modes are offered: S-Log2 and S-Log3. Both of them enable easy workflow close to that of film, and deliver a 4K wide dynamic range. These log functions include the entire range captured by the camera. When the BVM-X300 is set to the S-Log mode, it will display this range without the need for any signal correction or user LUTs, and gives colorists complete freedom in creativity. Password Lock for User Preset When multiple users share the same monitor, each user can register his/her own password for color temperature and user preset data. This ensures the user correctly recalls their preset data, and keeps preset information safe from unauthorized use. Other Features Aperture Internal Signal VESA Mounting (100 mm x 200 mm) Key Inhibit The KEY INHIBIT button located on the front panel protects each user s settings. When a user wants to change these values, the lock can be released. Flicker-free Mode The TRIMASTER EL OLED panel s superb quick response and scan-driving performance deliver stunning picture quality with virtually no motion blur. However, there is a possibility that flicker is just visible when a lower frequency signal is displayed (24p, 24PsF, and 50i). To remove visible flicker, the BVM-X300 is equipped with Flicker-free mode. 5
